When I was doing research for my Decade in Review Post I found that I used to write all sorts of silly short blogs, many were ridiculous rants of a lonely guy but I really liked reading about them, so today here is a short update on my weekend, what a good weekend it was too!
Friday:
Biked 13 miles to work(at 6:30am), took just over an hour, including shower.
Picked up 'ol Chip for his stay with us.
Watched half of Harry Potter and realized biking so far in the morning does not positively contribute to staying awake longer than 10:30 on a Friday.
Saturday:
Made a delightful french toast breakfast (new favorite bread!!)
Hid 4 Geocaches at our local nature preserve.
Watched a UFC fight at the local BWW and still don't understand how people choose to do that to themselves.
Sunday:
SKIPPED Bloody Mary Sunday, AAAHH!!! I usually make Bloody Mary's every Sunday morning for us and somehow completely forgot!?
Finished Harry Potter.
Started a new Brew, This one is a Kölsch.
Realized its Palm Sunday and didn't feel like I missed out on anything at all.

Hows my little distorted?
Dear Akon and your shitty Protege T-Pain (and many others),
Your distorted voices have caused a trend that is getting far out of hand. You singlehandedly took Cher's cleverly used engineering from Believe and ran away with it, much too far away. Now since you guys can be credited with pioneering the trend (mostly) I will let you go on making music with your weirdly perfect pitch sound. Please go on with getting featured in hundreds of more pop songs that can never be pulled off live because of the amount of engineering work that goes into your recorded production. In fact, I can only imagine how shitty you sound live, especially since I doubt you can even perform a track live with Auto-Tune running convincingly. Are your concerts even live anymore? If they are I'm sure they aren't worth the ticket price anymore.
I'm sorry Akon and T-Pain for giving you the blunt of the hate because there are tons of other artists who deserve so much more than you, for example Kesha and Lil Wayne. They are using the effect just becasue they can, not becasue they can manupulate it with tact and fit it in subtely like a cetain DMB track you can find it in.
In short I hate to think that this decade of post aughts is going to be recognized by the synth vocals the 80s claimed with their keyboards, this isn't artistry anymore its a cover-up for bad lyrics and a lack of vocal prowess. I want to thank Leona Lewis for using her beautiful voice to the fullest and I can appreciate Amy Winehouse a little more or Hell even Beyonce's instrument from their necks.
Although I would like to give props to Brittney Spears, since her voice could not have gotten worse, I think she might be able to thank her Auto-Tuning engineers for any comeback she might manage surmount.
